Hi all.. I've been searching the net and could not really find what I was looking for.

Was hoping some of you could give me a hand. We (6 of us) would like to take a private boat tour, we'd like to smoke and drink on the boat if possible.

can anyone reccomend a few boat tour companies?

Thanks!

I have done it several times. The best way is to get the hotel to book it for you. We've puffed, drank and partied aboard. Check back to my older posts to see more details. Its a GREAT time and great way to see the city!!!

Through Boom Chicago, there's the St Nicolaas boat tours that hold about 10 people. Great, fun, inexpensive time. If you search for "smoke boat" you should be able to find more information. Might only run in the warmer months.

Found this article...

I have used Arjan's Boat Company and would recommend them. Very cool. Smoking and drinking are allowed, he'll be happy to stop if you need to hit a urinoir.

You tried Scheepsrecht ? They offer exactly what you were asking for.

(Listed on our boats page, but probably not for much longer)

I did the Boom Chicago one in October. Much better than listening to all the recorded commentaries while looking through glass. Got loads of good photos as well. They only ask for €10 per person though it's really a tip because they aren't allowed to charge. The whole thing is very informal.
